The Amalfi Coast isn’t just a destination—it’s a dream. But to truly live it, to breathe in its magic and uncover its secrets, you need more than a hotel room and a crowded beach. You need time, movement, and freedom. You need an Amalfi Yacht Charter. Here’s how to turn seven days at sea into a lifetime of memories.
Day 1: Departure from Salerno – The Gateway to Amalfi
Your journey begins in the bustling port of Salerno. After boarding your private yacht and meeting the crew, you’re offered a chilled welcome drink and a chance to settle into your cabin. The moment the yacht slips away from the dock, something inside you changes. You’re no longer a tourist—you’re a voyager. The coastline stretches before you like an invitation.
You’ll sail to Vietri sul Mare, famous for its colorful ceramics and relaxed vibe. Stroll through its artisan workshops or simply enjoy your first evening on deck, dining beneath the stars as waves gently lap against the hull.
Day 2: Cetara and Erchie – Fishing Villages with Flavor
In the morning, cruise west to Cetara, a humble fishing town renowned for its anchovy sauce and authentic character. This is where Italians vacation, and the food is as real as it gets. Drop anchor, take the tender ashore, and sample fresh tuna, fried calamari, and homemade limoncello in a tiny family-run trattoria.
Later, head to Erchie, a hidden beach framed by ancient watchtowers and cliffs. It’s small, intimate, and far from the tourist trail. Swim in the clear water, then return to your yacht for sunset cocktails.
Day 3: Amalfi Town and Ravello – Grandeur Above and Below
Sail into Amalfi, once a powerful maritime republic, and admire the grand façade of the Duomo di Sant’Andrea as you dock. Explore the lively piazzas, indulge in a gelato, and visit the Paper Museum for a touch of history.
Then, ascend to Ravello, perched high above the coast. Your crew arranges a car or taxi to take you up the winding road. Ravello is all about peace and perspective. The gardens of Villa Cimbrone and Villa Rufolo offer views that linger in your soul. Return in the late afternoon for a quiet dinner aboard your yacht, anchored in the bay.
Day 4: Positano – Glamour and Charm
Positano is best approached from the sea. As your yacht nears the town, the colorful buildings appear stacked like playing cards against the cliffs. You’ll anchor offshore and take the tender into Marina Grande. Positano is for exploring: art galleries, linen boutiques, limoncello stands, and beach cafés that smell of coffee and sunscreen.
Enjoy lunch at a cliffside restaurant with panoramic views. In the evening, consider dressing up and enjoying a vibrant nightlife scene—or retreat to your private deck, where the view is even better and the music is set to your mood.
Day 5: Capri – Island of Legends
Early morning sails bring you to Capri, where elegance meets myth. Before the crowds arrive, your skipper guides you to the Blue Grotto, lit by a supernatural glow. Back on land, visit Villa Jovis, take in views from Monte Solaro, or shop along Via Camerelle.
Lunch could be at La Fontelina, tucked at the base of the Faraglioni rocks, or prepared by your onboard chef as you anchor at Marina Piccola. Swim, sunbathe, and explore small caves along the coast before dining on your yacht with a view of Capri’s lights shimmering on the sea.
Day 6: Nerano and Punta Campanella – Serenity and Seafood
Sail towards Nerano, a peaceful cove known for the iconic pasta dish, spaghetti alla Nerano. Here, you’ll taste simplicity perfected—zucchini, cheese, olive oil, and passion. After lunch, explore the Punta Campanella Marine Reserve, a protected area ideal for snorkeling, paddleboarding, or simply floating.
The bay is calm and the mood relaxed. It’s the perfect spot to disconnect. With no rushing, no crowds, and no expectations, you can just be.
Day 7: Sorrento and Return to Salerno – Bittersweet Farewell
Your final day begins with a short sail to Sorrento, overlooking the Bay of Naples. Visit the old town, sample local citrus products, and pick up last-minute gifts. Perhaps one last Italian espresso in a piazza, a toast with limoncello, a photo with your crew.
Then, the return to Salerno. As your yacht docks, you’ll feel the weight of departure—but also the richness of the past week. You’ve seen the Amalfi Coast not from a distance, but from within its embrace.
Each day brought something different: the silence of a cove, the laughter over lunch, the thrill of diving into turquoise water, the calm of waking up to waves. This isn’t a standard vacation—it’s a living dream, curated with intention, intimacy, and elegance.
With an Amalfi Yacht Charter, the coast becomes your playground, your sanctuary, your story. You don’t just visit Amalfi—you inhabit it, from sunrise to starlight, cliff to sea, memory to memory.
Don’t settle for a snapshot when you can live the full picture. Don’t just look at the coast—sail it. Experience Amalfi the way it was meant to be experienced: freely, deeply, beautifully. Experience it with Amalfi Yacht Charter.
